Brief, but interesting analysis

Mr. Jones, an economist and former associate editor of Forbes magazine, looks at the institution he has spent his lifetime studying from a religious perspective. The study is brief, but comprehensive - it covers the three aspects of capitalism Jones sees - capitalism the good, capitalism the bad and capitalism the ugly. While free-market exponents ignore the latter two, socialists ignore the former - this book provides the complete picture. It also is filled with interesting quotes from many Catholics such as G.K. Chesterton and Pope John Paul II. Good religious critique of economic systems.
